Thank you everyone for watching. Some of you are interested in the princess's daughter, Masae. Sadly her life was very short.😥 I've made a video to talk a little bit more about her & the princess's husband.. You may watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M6AF2i_Gjg8.html
Yes, she had such a sad and tragic life. At least she did get to come back to Korea during the last part of her life and was able to live in the palace again. Being a princess or royalty does not guarantee that anyone will have a happy life.
@@omggiiirl2077 Not just Korea but in China or any country. Princess Anastasia of Russia and her royal family were executed so that was even more tragic.
@@RichGoTech No but her daughter did get married. She ran off and disappeared after her parents’ divorced. They suspected that she committed suicide as her parents’s divorce was too much for her.
you could blame that on emperor Hirohito since Hes the one who lead Japan and taken over korea, but it's crazy to think that a imperial monarchy can ruin a other monarchy by starting war.
@@scp-049minecraftplague4you can just imagine the fear of Hirohito when macarthur met him at his palace, he was in tremble for he knew his karma had come ... see, early japan were fooled by the emperor at the end hirohito's divinity was stripped off...
I love Korean culture but knowing this about the last princess I am so sad she had to go through all of this very depressing time from the Japanese and through WW2 but at least she finally returned home this video is a great tribute to her thank you for sharing ❤
Last members of the royal family of Korea was sad..their last king was thrown out without a single cent and had to move to the states and work without anything then when he moved back to Korea he was not even allowed to enter the palace...
@@fjp9 Yup and the last emperor of China had a sad and tragic life after the Qing dynasty ended. Those royals who were the last ones always carried the burden that their ancestors left. So sad..
Which one are you referring to? I heard her brother who was the king got to live in the palace with her. If she was able to come back to Korea and live in the palace then why couldn’t he?
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj he probably wasn’t allowed back because he could have had more possible power or possibility of starting a rebellion type thing more so than her.
@@hanzocloud the way she herself was being forced to go to japan but was banned from coming back because she was deemed as a traitor. She was later allowed to returned but by then, she has already been weary and sick.
Omg!! It was not her fault to born to into the royal family. I feel so bad although her husband tried to help. Even her own daughter has depression and ran away. That would also killed any mother. Great video. It was not fair how they were treated by both sides. It was not their choices to move to Japan
I don't buy it. Family is family. Good family take care of each other. If her uncle can take care of him, after revolution etc he also lost lots of possessions, then why his husband didn't? It doesn't make sense. People would say anything, usually doesn't make sense, if they want to leave their spouse.
This poor innocent soul I felt so bad for her just imagine what she went through, losing her family, struggling with mental illness, getting a divorce, daughter left, she can’t return home, just imagine it Aiigoo😭😭 her life was sad no one has to go through this
Got to know her story from the Netflix show The Last Princess, it was very sad and touching. Aside from the main protagonists, I really respect her Japanese husband too, who tried his best to take care and help her
Her husband, So Takeyuki, is from the ruling family of Tsushima island (the island between Korea and Japan). Throughout the history, Tsushima island was doubly subjugated to both Kings of Korea (Goryeo, Joseon) and Shougns of Japan until the 17th century. Due to such different historical paths from the main Japanese isles, the island was kinda "alienated" in the Japanese society. And that's why he was so kind and caring to her - as someone from the former ruling family of an alienated island, he was able to understand the feelings of this last princess (Deokhye) who was also alienated in the Japanese society.
I watched the Movie on Netflix and it was so good. But knowing the story of the Princess made me so sad. I felt the emotions because the actress portaid it so well. I can't imagine the pain that she'd been through. It's too much. It's cruel.
Japan empire doesn't really care about it at all, they also nvr apologize for what they did to the comfort women of Philippines, they move on so fast, but past is past , japan is a different era now
Japanese Empires never finished because even after war they kept in their government as emperor system. It is true Japanese Empires were very brutal to Korean people however they learn big time. And after many years of struggle Korean people fighting for democracy, worked very hard and finally got better life and government. But unfortunately not Japanese people because they are still same Empire government are under control many years so, people getting more poor and worst economy. Japanese government are into only money but not helping people.
Japan wanted safe passage through Korea to attack Ming China hundreds of years before. Japan saw that opportunity coz both China and Korea were not as strong as back then so they did what they always tried to do. I’m sure if given the opportunity in future they will do it all over again, history repeats itself
The reason why she wasn't allowed to return was because democracy was newly established and bringing a royal back into a country would spark royalist revolt .
Dr. Lee, the first president of South Korea, was member of the Royal Lee (Yi) Clan himself, thus the same Surname. but distant relative to Royal Family. He hated Royal Family, so He did not allow any of them from returning to South Korea. So it has a lot to do with his personal hatred of Royal Family than anything else.
@@davidjacobs8558 Syngman Ryee hated the Korean royals since he might lose his title as a "founding father of modern Korea", if he made the Yi royal family remain in the Gyeongbukgong Palace.
@@oiawoo9168 Dr. Lee hated Joseon Royal Family ever since he was young. It did not happen after he became president. He hated Japanese, he hated Communists and he hated Joseon royal family.
Even the sister and cousins of Tsar Nicolas II who escaped West lived a destitute life, they lived as farmers and sold jewelries they wore to survive. All their wealth were in Russia. They managed to live decent lives from the help of Russian expats and the Windsor royals. Same with the last Emperor of China, Puyi.
Puyi was reintegrated in communist china, through indoctrination. He worked and died as a gardener of the forbidden city, his former home as an Emperor. The values of the royal families in history shows authentic love for their countries and commitment to their duties. Not like the current royals (QE2 excluded) who reign from a space of entitlement (MM who married into the royals, in particular). The whining of that girl! Princess Deokhyo longed to go back to her country, no matter what.
You know what the difference between the Romanov and Joseon families is. Joseon collapsed and suffered bwcause of foreign invasions and interventions, while the Romanovs collapsed and suffered because of their own mistakes and refusing to reform the Russian Empire. I have no sympathy for Romanov
Thank you for the story/documentary 🙏. I just found your channel. And I love how you narrate the story and how you compile the story so we dont have to research it ourselves.
What if her daughter didn't really commit suicide and just wrote it to show everyone that she's dead so no one will find her and live her life like a normal person...what if she's still alive and have a wonderful family😳
You truly wonder but I doubt it as she was married and I think she loved her husband. Therefore, why would she just leave him behind? I think the stress of her parents’s divorce just got to her...
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj huh?? Who's husband?? I'm talking about the princess daughter..... It just suddenly came to my mind that what if she is still alive but just show to everyone that she's dead by the letter she left for her parents so they would leave her alone like I would also do the same if I was on her place like it's hard to choose between your mom & dad when they get divorce so I would just leave like her so I wouldn't have to choose and imagine being the princess daughter you can't just live a normal life without being watch by guards or maids specially when your parents didn't really have time to take care of you it's just.... It's sucks you know
@@mikajane9551 The princess’s daughter was married and had a husband! I heard she even left a suicide note and disappeared. Her father tried to find her but sadly never did which led many to believe that she did indeed commit suicide. Her parents’ divorce was just too much for her. It is so sad.. Your theory is way too far fetched... I highly doubt she continued to live and all like you said.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj it is believe that the Princess had mental problem since her young age, which only got worse and worse as she got older. Also, it is believed the her daughter inherited her mother's mental disorder, which contributed to her suicide.
It was a little difficult to understand the video because the pronunciation, but happily there were subtitles... I appreciate your effort to speak, a foreign language. Thank you for share the story.
Her life is so painful. Being taken away from your own land and home. Being denied from returning to her own home. It must be hard but at least she got to return at the end
@@yellowenn stop with this royal blood to make them seem superior some idol great grandparents were part of a huge clan to were associated to the Kings that doesn't necessarily mean they have royal blood like tf.
@@whiteg1815 Even if they did have royal blood, it is not a big deal. They still live like regular citizens. My ancestors were royal officials but my family did not have any privileges.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj i said their great great great parents are maybe asoociated with the royal family like they were the guards or something they had to do within the clan and here people saying they have royal bloods and esc they are overexaggerating thats what im trying to say
So sad such misery and loss 😢she went thru so much a young age and became terminally ill. Being born a royal never seemed like a great privilege just stress and cage.
Just like the last emperor of China,why do people back in those dying monarchy days treat there former royals so badly,why can’t they treat them with respect and love,why get rid of them.so sad….😢😢😢😢😢😢
just watched on Netflix the last princess. her life was just tragic. it's so sad. lesson- colonization has really no good result at all. greetings from the Philippines. even Philippines itself suffered the atrocities and abuse of the Japanese colonization. they've committed war crimes against humanity. hitler of Germany, hirohito of Japan, and missoulini of Italy are pure evil leaders.
May movie niyan..kung hindi ako nag kakamali si Son ye jin ang bida Grabi angggg Ganda.. Ang set up sa movie habang ginagawa yan pambira..parang bumalik sa noong kapanahunan ng hapon
What a life being Royal family?? Much better to live in a simple life ,and to her situation is very sad,,from birth to end is suffering,,,now i know most of korean’s doesnt accept Japanese ..! And this time korea is more progressive and consistent while japan going to be lonely country,always their is a turning point after all and still my belove country Philippine remains its consistency as well,suffering from poverty,sad but reality,,filipinos refuse to change is the biggest obstacle to move on to one Country.! But i love my country.!!
The Japanese annxation of Korea was from Korean side. In 1894 Japan released Korea from Qing-china for the victory of Sino-Japanese war. Until 1894, Korea was slavary dependency of China for 1000 years long. At the time Russian empire had been advancing to Korea to get non-freeze port . Japan worried about security for Korean peninsula. So Japan recommanded Korea to be independency from Qing-china. But Qing had never allowed Korea to give free. So Sino-Japanese war occurred in 1894. And Japan won Qing-china in 1894. Korea established great Korea empire in 1897. If Japan had an ambition of territory for Korean peninsula, Japan must annexed Korea as soon as the end of war. More over Japan supported Korea to be independency as to be modernized country. But soon Korea had been approaching to Russia by huge debt from Russia. Russia began to construct fortress in border of Russia and Korea. This was very dangerous situation. And Korea became almost Russian colony. So Russo-Japane war occurred in 1904, Japan destroyed Russian army at Manchulia , and Japan destroyed Russian Baltic fleet 38 gun ships on the sea of Japan. In 1905 Japan got the victory of Russo-Japanese war. If Japan had an ambition of territory for Korean peninsula, Japan must annex Korea after the end of Russo-Japanese war as soon as possible. Japan did not annex Korea at the time. Because great opponent of annexation policy ex-priminister ITO,HIROFUMI stopped the Korean opinion of annexation of Korea. Almost Korean people supplicated Korea must join to Japan. But Ito,Hirofumi denied the offer. In 1909 Ito was assassinated by Korean Ang,Jufun who was a fan of Japan he thought if Ito died Korea can join to Japan. Ito was killed at the station of Harbing Manchlia in 1909. So the annexation policy began to move. Japan annexed Korea in 1910. The ceremony of annexation held at the plaza of Seoul officially under the blue sky on 29, August ,1910. Japan paid much effort to make assimilization of Koea to Japan politely. First of all Korean dynasty prince I,Un married Japanese Meiji emperor's grand daughter Nashinomotomiya,Masako in 1920. So Japan and Korea became marriage relation. Prince I,Un became a lieutenant general of Japan army. Prince I,Un had palace in Tokyo, Akasaka. It was called the Tokyo palace of prince I,un. After WWII the palace became Akasaka Prince Hotel. Now the house became memorial palace of Korean prince I,un. Every body can visit the palace now.
Reminds me of the fate of Cleopatra’s twins by Mark Anthony. After the murder of Cleopatra’s eldest son Caesarean her twins (legal heirs of the Egyptian throne) were adopted and disappeared from history.

@@valarmorghulis8139 I heard her daughter left a suicide note and disappeared,therefore, I think she did commit suicide. The stress of her parents’ divorce really got to her. I feel so bad for all of them.
